I believe it will still count. I had deleted characters that were maxed out in their professions, and they counted towards the "raise 5 skills to 600", so there should be no reason for this one to not count.

I deleted my paladin, I can't stand any paladin atm. And rogues. And mages. And warlocks.

OT: yes, it should count.

just stop using it, there may come a time in the future when you decide you want to play it again and having a level capped char or even just a high level char if it's the next expansion saves you redoing the entire levelling process again.

It is not such a big deal since I main a shaman and everything I do, i do first with him. the paladin was a tank alt, did a few raids but then disliked him in the long run.
